Which supermarkets in Colchester are open late?

Of the 12 supermarkets across Colchester whose hours we know, 10 stay open until 10pm or later on most days. Open latest today: Budgens, East of England Co-op and Sainsbury's.

What time do supermarkets open on Sundays?

In England and Wales, shops bigger than 280 square metres (about 3,000 square feet) can open for only six hours on a Sunday, some time between 10am and 6pm, and must close on Easter Sunday and Christmas Day. Smaller branches, the “local” and “express” kind, can open longer. Of the 12 supermarkets across Colchester whose hours we know, 12 open on Sundays.

Why do shops have food hygiene ratings?

Any shop that sells food is registered with the council and can be inspected, the same as a café or takeaway. Shops selling only low-risk packaged food may be marked “exempt” instead of rated. 53 of the supermarkets across Colchester have a rating, 94% of them 4 or 5.

How up to date are the opening hours?

They come from OpenStreetMap, Overture Maps and owners who have updated their own listing. Bank holiday hours aren’t shown, and shops do change their hours, so ring ahead if it matters.
